Chapter 859

"Don't worry," Su Ming says.

Ji Yao steps forward, pulling Ni Shuang.

"Su Ming, just now Ni Shuang and I cooperated perfectly, and I also reached level 55, she is 56!"

"This battle, although dangerous, we all gained something!" she says firmly.

Seeing the two women getting along so well, Su Ming's only worry disappears.

He takes out a white jade pendant and hands it to Ji Yao.

"Ji Yao, after you became a vampire, you don't look like a mage anymore, often charging into melee."

Looking at Ji Yao, whose face is covered in blood and hasn't had time to wash, Su Ming smiles gently.

"This pair-of-carp white jade pendant can block two Shi Shi-level skill attacks for you, and the effect refreshes every week."

"In the future, if I'm not around, it will protect you for me," Su Ming says.

The life-saving effect of this thing is very strong!

【Pair-of-Carp Bai Yu, Life-Protecting and Unharmed. After knocking, it will instantly explode into a barrier, capable of resisting Shi Shi-level skill attacks; this effect can only take effect twice per week.】

【Affix · Carp Jade Profound Departure: Makes you ignore the combat state and directly exit the dungeon world (this effect can be used again after one year of charging).】

This white jade pendant is a spoil Su Ming obtained when he killed Zhang Tang years ago.

Su Ming rarely uses this item, or rather, he dares not use it.

Because once it is triggered and seen by the Zhang family, they will associate it with them and hunt him to the ends of the earth.

This is Zhang Tang's thing!

However, after Su Ming sublimated it, the special effect triggered by this item became different, making it harder for the Zhang family to discover.

Plus, as long as it isn't used by him, the 'God of Slaughter', but by a woman, the Zhang family will find it hard to associate it with the protective item forcibly taken from Zhang Tang.

In the world, there are too many items that are slightly similar; it is normal, and the Zhang family cannot investigate every single one.

So Ji Yao using it is considered very safe.

He had long wanted to give it to Ji Yao, but he was too busy and couldn't find the time.

In this battle, Su Ming didn't carry this pendant, so it didn't trigger the effect.

Because Su Ming has the blood-sucking effect of the Blood-Fallen Sword, he doesn't need this kind of defensive equipment at all; he just needs to hack people to recover health.

When his health is low, his blood-sucking actually doubles, allowing him to create more blood swords to kill enemies.

So this kind of defensive equipment is a burden to Su Ming, and he rarely uses it.

"Hehe, I will treasure it carefully!" Ji Yao takes the pendant and smiles.

"Also, I have long prepared an item for you!"

"Look!" As she speaks, Ji Yao's eyes reveal cunning, and she hands over a skill scroll.

【Skill Advancement Scroll (Diamond Mid-Tier)】

【After use, upgrade the quality of one of your selected skills.】

Su Ming's gaze sharpens.

"Such a precious thing!?"

After his sublimation, the effect will definitely be stronger.

Where did this girl get it? This thing is hard to buy even if you have money!

"You gave me a gift, I must return the favor."

"This is the most basic thing for a girl to do!" she says with a serious face.

"I was lucky too; I killed a BOSS with Yan Ze earlier, and it dropped."

"You must accept it!"

Su Ming nods.

"Hmm, good!" he smiles.

This is a token of affection, hard to refuse.

Subsequently, Su Ming looks at Ni Shuang.

"Ni Shuang, you have been protecting Ji Yao in this battle, but who will protect you?"

"This ring will protect you for me."

Su Ming says seriously and gently.

As he speaks, he hands over a ring.

It is inlaid with an ocean sapphire, shining brightly.

【Saintess's Ring (Shi Shi Mid-Tier)】

This ring is a healing ring Su Ming took after killing Zhang Tang earlier; the effect is very strong and can instantly heal severe injuries.

It needs to absorb a large amount of pure water to charge and then trigger.

Like this swamp dungeon, which is full of sewage, it cannot charge.

So for so long, Su Ming hasn't used it.

He really feels this item is a bit of a chicken rib.

But for Ni Shuang, it is different.

Her skills can condense a large amount of ice from a very small amount of water molecules.

And after that ice melts, it is a large amount of pure water.

In other words, it is very simple for her to charge; this is simply equipment tailored for her.

After sublimation, the triggering effect of this ring is also completely different; the Zhang family basically cannot find any commonalities, so she can trigger it with peace of mind.

Ni Shuang takes it.

She finds that this ring is extremely cold, which matches her attributes very well.

"Thank you." Ni Shuang tightly holds this ring and smiles slightly.

Now she feels very happy.

Adventuring with Su Ming, Ji Yao, Yan Ze, and others is too exciting!

And she successfully protected the person Su Ming loves.

To some extent, she has more or less repelled her inner demons.

Back then, because she was full of fear, she watched her mother and father being killed by Fei Mu, and she was no match, so she could only flee in a sorry state.

But now she has strength, has courage, and can protect everything!

Su Ming comes to Jiang Yunqing and looks at her with concern.

"Yunqing, were you injured in this battle?"

Jiang Yunqing is cleaning up the aftermath, using her buffs to rescue the wounded.

As a Fifth Turn Soul-Support Grand Mage, she also has skills to heal life.

Now that there are so many corpses on the battlefield, she can absorb a large amount of soul power to heal the wounded.

Looking at Su Ming, she stops what she is doing and reveals a smile.

Subsequently, she takes out a small box and hands it to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, take it."

Su Ming is a bit surprised.

It has always been him giving to others first.

She actually took the initiative to give him a gift.

Su Ming opens it to see.

He sees a cookie lying inside.

The shape of the cookie is very strange, pink, but it looks delicious.

"I know you are very powerful and have many mysterious methods we don't know about."

"I am not strong enough and have no way to give you something that can help you in battle."

"But after you eat this cookie, you will feel very happy!" she says, her eyes shining.

"I used the meat of the Fat-Sore Monster from the E-level dungeon, Lang Grass Water, mutated wheat flour, and... Red Snow Water, Yeti armpit hair, and other materials from the dungeon, and made it myself in my spare time," Jiang Yunqing says clearly and seriously.

Since a long time ago, she had been preparing, and even specifically bought a skill scroll to learn the cookie-making skill. ===== CHAPTER 861 =====
